Yep. Using the exact same settings I see the problem in 2.66 but not in 2.61.

What's interesting is that, as you noted, with some degree of transparency enabled, the same "black box" appears every time the window resizes. With no transparency it only happens when the window is initially resized the first time. I have transparency turned off and fade into view turned on now, so I don't get the black box any longer.

I was typing in some other app when the Install dialog box opened in front with install location so default location (text) was replaced by whatever I was typing. I browsed to install folder C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\but it installed into folderC:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\FindAndRunRobotwhich is then correct I guess . .

Should I simply delete that folder (the extra install) or actually uninstall it (dont want to lose the settings of the 'real' install) ?

you can just delete, no need to uninstall.but you do need to run the installer and point it to the real place afterwards.

i.e. it's important to have the latest install be to the right location, and it's going to default to the previous location when you run the next install, so pay attention to the location that is set as default when you run the next install.

lashiec, can you clarify -- did it work in older versions of FARR, but just not this new one? are you on an x64 OS? Which OS?and can you clarify what icons are showing incorrectly? any clues about which ones?

Yup, it used to work on older versions (AFAIK in all I ever had). I'm on Windows XP SP3, 32-bit. Yeah, the ones showing up incorrectly are the ones who use DropMyRights to reduce the rights of the launched applications, like so:

"C:\Archivos de programa\DropMyRights\DropMyRights.exe" "C:\Archivos de programa\Opera\Opera.exe"

Also, the Steam icon shows an unknown icon (looks to be part of Windows standard icons). This is one of these strange shortcuts which does not specify a program to be launched, the "Target" field is greyed out, and simply reads "Steam". Plus, the Half-Life shortcut shows the Steam icon, instead of the usual encircled red lambda.

Mouser what did you do!? Apparently you tried to fix some icon display issues but now you messed up some for me They have always worked before.

~edit: oh and I just noticed the statusbar reports "Found n+1 results in x seconds" for n items -- in the attached screenshot it reports finding 2 results but it just found one. This does not always happen but usually it does, quite strange. I don't have any other file named 'standby' or something in my search folders if I recall correctly.

I attached the .ico file (rename it from .txt as it's not allowed to post .ico files... lol)I attached a .zip file containing all 3 .ico files from the screenshot.

About the n+1 items: I also thought about the duplicates but it actually turns out to be a slight bug anyway, it simply found the same file twice.. This happened for some more files I noticed. Below is the output with 'remove duplicates' unchecked. This isn't supposed to happen I guess?

[BugFix] Icons for shortcut links with custom icon settings were not being shown properly due to change in v2.70.01; hopefully now this is fixed and the previous x64 shortcut/icon fixup stuff is still working.

[BugFix] - Farr was showing more results than it should if an alias used the dosearch action.

[BugFix] - Alias action modifier launching was not working.

[BugFix] - When launching alias results that were .lnk files, the /showmax type alias arguements were not obeyed.

[MinorFeature] - some options moved to new tabs in options.

[BugFix] - Moving and deleting items in one of the option lists could on rare occasions lead to an error when loading the ini file on next run (would report bad ini file and reset to defaults).

[BugFix] - When option to use numpad keys to launch was set, numpad keys could not be used for memo/html mode typing of numbers (which hindered their use in calculator plugins for example).

[MinorFeature] - Using the paste special alias command now pastes \r\n when the \n constant is found in the paste text.

[Feature] - You can now customize the result background color for the main results window.

NOTE: As of 8/26/09 I have not yet told the updater about the new version, but if you right click on FARR and tell it to install the new version it will install it. I'm hoping I can get some reports from early testers before i make the update public.
